evening, i'm chris matthews in washington. leading off tonight, obama/clinton, the o.c. the best political mooch president obama made in his presidency even before he was president was to forge a lincolnesque coalition with the other force in the democratic party, the clintons, naming hillary clinton as secretary of state was just the beginning. last week, she took the front line job in bringing about what could be obama's greatest presidential achievement, peace in the middle east. this week bill clinton joined hands with obama, touting him in advance of the big midterm elections. could there be a stronger role for the clintons after the election? we have arianna huffington. is the quote still taboo? we're talking witchcraft. we're talking christine o'donnell. our friend bill maher rebroadcast a clip of o'donnell from the show in which o'donnell said she once dabbled in witchcraft and went on a date with a satanic altar. what will the voters of delaware make of that? republican dale peterson of alabama said things like president obama hates america. you know, the usual stuff. this unthink

with 46 yards on seven carries. now, clinton porter had just as many carries as ryan terrain. seven. rushed for 44 yards. a season-long 27 coming on this second quarter rush. there is speculation that the head coach did not like the way he fell down without much contact on this run right here. he breaks it and then kind of just goes down. so he wasn't used much in the second half or fourth quarter. clinton, your thoughts? >> i'm not really surprised. but i think rams went out and had some big runs. he went and provided the big portability that they were looking for. so i guess he's a buy. >> we all talk to clinton. we talk all the time. the most important thing in this situation is just to continue to show support. we all have that confidence knowing when he gets back in there that he can create some big plays for us. >>> when we return, how did the rest of the nfc east do? see if the redskins maybe got some good luck with a cowboy or eagle loss. that and more as we continue on sports extra.   . >>> fox 5 morning news is now on at 4:25 every weekday mor

changed or have we? f.d.r. and clinton knew how to court us all the way. why did this guy stop at the altar? should a presided lea the charge against his foes? is it cool for barack obama to go face to face with the tea party set or does it help bring him down? finally, commander in chief. the book reveals president obama rejected the push for a wider war in afghanistan. they wanted in, he wanted a way out. hi, i'm chris matthews. welcome to the show. with us today is john heilemann, cynthia tucker, nbc's norah o'donnell and "the washington post" michael gerson. with barely five weeks left before democrats may lose the congress, president obama is trying to fire up the people who sent him but have lost faith. some presidents were the same politicians in office as they were running for office. f.d.r. was, reagan was, clinton was. a moment this week showed the contrast between president obama and president clinton. with barack obama, recall how george bush 41 suffered in comparison to clinton in the 1992 town hall debate when a voter asked a feel your pain question. >> how has th

of the president. everybody knows that harry truman and bill clinton confronted congress and made a lot of hay out of those confrontations. but would people oftentimes forget is that both of those presidents gave a lot of ground. it was sometimes not voluntarily, but, in bill clinton's case in particular, he made a concerted effort to move toward the republicans and sometimes even substantively. he confronted part of the time, but he was also flexible and was able to declare the area of big government being over, and was able to sign a welfare reform. they were able to endorse the idea of a balanced budget. hoover and grover cleveland, on the other hand, were much more rigid. they were not able to make those kinds of accommodations to the new majority. can obama make those kinds of accommodations? we do not know. i have a suspicion, based on his conduct so far, that he may not be as adaptable as bill clinton. he may be more rigid than bill clinton and not able to make the kind of adjustments that clinton made. the second possible set of analogies would be something like 1938 and 1966, where the op

to clinton in the right lane. quiet across the american legion bridge. back to you. >> thank you. >>> our top story, d.c. will have a new mayor. 90% of 36 reporting, council chair vincent gray has defeated incumbent mayor adrian fenty in the democratic primary. gray came out here early this morning to declare victory. fenty's spokesman says he will concede the race. the primary victory in almost guarantees the results for greg. >> what is next for the new nominee, pamela brown? >> a busy night and busy morning at the washington corridor tel. a lot of enthusiastic supporters of vincent gray. gray has ousted mayor adrian fenty. a fenty spokesperson says that the mayor has conceded and that he will call vincent gray sometime soon. he was the youngest mayor and was a big backer of education. this was a referendum of controversial school chancellor michelle rhee, som said -- some say. vincent gray says that he wanted chancellor who worked with parents and teachers. he wants to bring character and integrity back to the mayor's office. despite a couple of jabs at mayor fenty, greg congratulate him f

the same thing. >> after making what some call offensive comments, clinton portis quickly issued a statement. but d.c. residents are still talking about what he said. >> you put a woman and give her a choice of 53 athletes, somebody -- she is going to be wanting somebody. >> if he had a daughter and she was a journalist and they harassed her, he would be mad about that situation. >> portis was giving his opinion about a weekend controversy surrounding this woman. she was a reporter who was allegedly sexually harassed in the locker room. >> if jeans and a white shirt with buttons is provocative, then all women are provocative because they all dress like this. >> i do not know what you expect from maine. i have to go. -- from me. i have to go. >> portis writes "i was wrong to make the comments i did and i apologize. i respect the job that all reporters to." a couple of fans actually believe part of the problem is allowing opposite sexes in the locker room. >>> we are also monitoring late development from paris where authorities were investigating a bomb threat made at the eiffel to

of state clinton arrived to the peace talks. simon mcgregor-wood also just arrived. simon, what can we expect today? >> reporter: good morning, vinita. as you said, a busy round of talks today for hillary clinton. she's hosting, along with president mubarak, the second round of the newly-launched middle east peace talks. hosting prime minister netanyahu and prison president abbas. as you hinted in your introduction, jewish settlement construction. the crucial issue that the two parties have to get over today before this progress can move forward. the palestinians have said they will walk away if israel's temporary settlement freeze of ten months, which expires on the 26th of this month, are renewed. he and president obama and hillary clinton have been engaged in arm of twisting. it remains to be seen if that hurdle can be overcome today. >> you mentioned this is a two-day meeting. what happens on day two if that happens on day one? >> reporter: today, we rush back to jerusalem, where hillary clinton will arrive later tonight, with a second round of talks with the same characters at the

with the other force in the democratic party, the clintons, naming hillary clinton was just the beginning. last week, she took the front line job. peace in the middle east. this week, bill clinton joined hands with obama touting him in advance of the midterm elections. could there be a stronger role for the clintons after the election? we've got arianna huffington to help with the alliance. is the quote still taboo? we're talking christine o'donnell. our friend bill mahr rebroadcast a clip of o'donnell from the show in which she said she once dabbled in witchcraft. what will the voters of delaware make of that? that said, extremist rhetoric was the official language this weekend. dale peterson said things like, president obama hates america. you know, the usual stuff. this hatred has gotten far out. so far, how the democrats going to fight with it. how about newt gingrich? he's out with the kool-aid and sounding like a paranoid, or is he, or just pretending to fire up his brand name. let me finish with what i saw in the town hall. we begin with the obama clinton coalition. arianna huffington, h

-- certainly bill clinton, ronald reagan had fathers with alcohol problems and overcame that. here he is with the approval of newt gingrich, going back and calling his father a drunk. what is the point. here's gibbs. here they are in response to this stuff. let's listen to robert gibbs. >> i think newt gingrich knows he's trying to, he's trying to appeal to the fringe of people who don't believe the president s born in this country. you would normally expect better, but look at his political season and most people will say anything and he does that on a regular basis. >> david, it seems to me that gingrich has a history of finding racist on the part of dividuals. he we want over sherrod. he referred to sotomayor as a woman latino woman racist. he seems to like to point that way. is this to give cover to something on his side? why is he also saying racist, racist,r racist, about minoritie minorities? >> it's something he didn't do as much of when he had a position of power. he did it when he was trying to get republicans back into power. he sees his job as getting on tv, getting argume

to be running back and forth to places. president bill clinton will be on the show later this morning. and we have a lot to talk about this morning. >> we do. you go first. >> we saw "waiting for superman" yesterday. actually the story dovetails nicely with the newark story today that's in the news. but wow. you walk out of it feeling really twisted up and angry. >> willie, we were all there, and i knew how it was going to end. people were telling me about the lottery for these poor kids trying to get into good schools and the parents, and even knowing how it was going to end just everybody broke down crying at the end. you just sat there knowing you were watching a personal tragedy unfold. >> in your own country, in our world. >> thinking about that all night after we saw it. the metaphor of the lottery balls, the fact that a child's education rests on a ball being plucked out of a bin is so outrageous, you have to see this movie. >> i work very hard, as you know. >> you do. >> because i'm naturally sort of an energetic guy. i stay calm. i learned that you try not to cast moral aspersions in

to debate it. >> they will get rid of don't ask, don't tell, it's a matter of time. clinton. george stephanopoulos asked the former president what advice he had for the current president in dealing with angry voters. >> i would like to see him say here is what i think this election is about. the only thing that matters is what we do now very give us a few more years. if we don't do better, you can vote against us and i will be on the ballot. but against us all if it is not done. >> is that good advice? >> people love ex-presidents and ex-generals. it is also clear and simple. would president clinton haveno. he would never do something so stark. >> it is not a bad calculation. two years from now, it will be better. we are coming out of this recession. things will be better a year- and-a-half from now. you will be able to say that. you are right, bill clinton would not have said this either. it will be better. >> he has the triangulation. >> he is quite a politician. >> defined better. better? >> obama has to break through the political deadlock. the public does not care whether the g

a presidential cycle. hillary clinton, who was not only the first woman to get as close as any woman has to her party's nomination for the presidency, you also saw sarah palin. both of these women really did not behave in ways that we thought women may be would behave. this completely open our eyes to different ways that we might see female candidates. they were competitive, occasionally behaved badly, occasionally behaved well, people support them, often a strongly when they advocated feminist or purportedly feminist positions, which many people thought, no, would amend power. in fact, they attracted very strong women's followings. what i am arguing in part is their presence has helped us expand our capacity for being able to accept female candidates. we have had none of them, very few of them for the presidency before now, and now we have all of these new models of women in power. tavis: two years ago, and it is so late in the game. there are countries all over the world that are way ahead of us. margaret thatcher in the u.k., but i could go around the globe, as you know, about women who have

prime minister tony blair to discuss his relationship with former presidents clinton, george w. bush. his take on barack obama. plus the white house has identified their enemy number one in the up coming elections. we'll tell you who he is and why they are going after him that and more, straight ahead. for strong bones, i take calcium. but my doctor told me that most calcium supplements... aren't absorbed properly unless taken with food. he recommended citracal. it's different -- it's calcium citrate, so it can be absorbed with or without food. citracal. >> sean: census figures for 2009 will be released next week. the number of people in poverty is set to increase by record levels on president obama's watch. according to the ap, they anticipate the poverty rate will hit 15% and child poverty will rise above 20%. yet another record for the anointed one to be proud of. hannity continues in 90 short seconds with former british prime minister, tony blair. gecko water bottle... notebook... chamois... gecko: sir, i feel a little bit uncomfortable with all... you know... with all this. i me

"john king usa" starts rights now. >> good evening, everyone. we begin with troubling numbers, new numbers for president obama and his democratic party. this is important, with the goal of better understanding just why things are taking a new shift in the republicans favor. 54% of americans disapprove of how president obama is handling his job. that's a new low for the president in our cnn polling. 53% tell us they plan to vote republican for congress. don't try telling that to the house speaker, nancy pelosi. >> i feel confident our members are the best spokespersons for their constituents. they know how to communicate with their districts and they are doing just that and they're doing just fine. >> don't believe the numbers, then how about this? remember that, the now iconic image of hope? it's the

presided over further deregulation of wall street and the banking industry that started under bill clinton. and -- but he went -- bush was like on steroids with letting the banks and wall street do whatever they want. he caused a huge crash that we're not out of the woods on yet and frankly, we may even be heading toward another different form of crash. >> i ask these questions, mike -- i ask these questions, michael, because in your most recent column you wrote you say you're complaining about what's going on. do the democrats deserve what they're about to get? you asked. you answer, absolutely. a i was a little confused by what you precisely meant by that. >> well, they deserve it only in the sense that they brought a lot of this on themselves. then i also, i believe, went on to say that we have a responsibility now to save the democrats from themselves. they clearly haven't been able to figure out how to do it. we cannot go back. god forbid, to two years ago with the hell that we just came out of. if you want more of that, if you thought the first decade of this century was just, wow, r

managed to rip the top off a fight between two top democrats. jerry brown and bill clinton. let me finish tonight with the inspiring sight i saw this weekend in front of independence hall. let's start with newt gingrich's tribal attack on the president. "newsweek's" harry fineman is an msnbc political analyst. i think you have to go back to almost pagan rights to find this kind of commentary by a major american official. talking about obama basically being a kenyan, anticolonial-type who's operating as his father's pawn. he's accusing him of conning us to elect him president. what do you make of newt, howard? >> i've been covering newt for many years. he's a bomb thrower. he's a guy who knows the weak point to attack. what's interesting to me here is he feels free to say anything at this point. it's a kind of free fire zone within the conservative movement. and newt, who's always trying to say the most outrageous thing and that goes back many, many years, now has moved from saying outrageous things about the ethics of the house members in the democratic leadership 15, 18 years ago, to say

will it last? >> speaking of winners, you would think the redskins would still be celebrating know, clinton for this has thrown himself into a think about the internet. growing, evolving, literally transforming our lives. now imagine the possibilities of what tomorrow could bring. at at&t, we support a core set of standards that will guide the internet into the future... to protect users, and reward innovators, for years to come. we support a fair and open internet - affordable and accessible to everyone. transparent networks, managed in ways that are clear to all users. we support the fcc's plan to bring high-speed internet to everyone in america by 2020. and we are committed to keeping the internet working, as the economic engine that's creating jobs now. working together, investing, keeping information and ideas flowing freely, we can ensure that the internet will continue to grow and influence the future... in ways we can only imagine. because the future has always been our business. at&t. come on, guys! daisy! whoo! aah!

president clinton who arrives in derry tomorrow. let's play "hardball." cheering section, both president obama and vice president biden are telling the democratic base to stop complaining and get out there and vote. mr. obama said in a "rolling stone" interview it's inexcusable to sit out voting this november. will this get out the vote? our latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll has some hints that the democrats may be closing the enthusiasm gap. one democrat who seems to be gaining ground is yak conway, who is running for senate against tea party errand paul. he's with us tonight. and we have p.j. o'rourke, a good name to have when you're broadcasting from the emerald island. his book is called "don't vote." is he cheering against the democrats? finally let me finish with a need to get in the car and drive. all that's ahead, but first let's check the "hardball" scoreboards. the latest polls in the tight races around the country. we'll start with the connecticut senate race, where dick blumenthal leads linda mcmahon by just three points. joe sestak is now within five points of toome
